Understanding Heel Pain
Heel pain is a common musculoskeletal condition affecting people of all ages and activity levels. It can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that disrupts daily activities like walking, standing, or climbing stairs.

Despite its prevalence, heel pain is often mismanaged, with many patients relying on rest alone. However, most conditions causing heel pain require professional physiotherapy treatment to fully recover and prevent recurrence.

The heel is a complex structure composed of the calcaneus (heel bone), tendons, ligaments, muscles, fat pads, and nerves — any of which can become inflamed, overloaded, or injured.
